Summer 2020 - Moans, Ramps & Chat

[sparky1972]

so so chilly today, log burner might get lit this evening, very cloudy, and with winds from the east through most of this week dont think much will change in the way of cloud cover which means no storms i would think.

[Guest]

Temps barely rose in the last hour. 27.2-27.9C.

Feels like the flow has reversed and we now have a sea breeze. If true thats it for today....

Yes i think it might be a struggle to get past 32C here today - at 24C currently in perfect conditions, not rising quickly enough to make me think we can match yesterday's 34C. Looks like the hottest stuff really is in the SE corner today in Kent/E Sussex, less N Sea influence perhaps.

Well it's a good job I'm not a professional weather forecaster - Gosport Fleetlands met office site has got to 31.8C and still rising.

Really is the perfect day for these parts. I've always wondered if it is possible to get to 35C in the Portsmouth area and I doubt I'll get a better chance than in this set-up. Maybe today?

29.2°C here. Formula 1 time now.

Probably not a better chance but I think a genuine sea breeze is trying to setup along south coast.

Not even reached 21 here yet, been cloudy all day. North Sea murk. Is this the Northumberland coast, no it's Shropshire, 150-200 miles from the North Sea. Yesterday we had cloud from the Irish sea till 3pm, today it's cloud from the North Sea. Really being very inland by British standards we shouldn't get marine stratus at all, but we seem to get it from every direction instead.

Hot sunny days in August just seem like they are never going to happen here again.

A sudden sea-breeze scuppered it for us yesterday at around 2pm, we were heading towards 35C until then. It's usually what puts a lid on it! Very, very still here atm so you never know

Southsea beach has a record high of 35.0c, so I think other parts of the city should be able to record higher.

Do you know when that happened?

[sunnijim]

33c now on the Sussex coast. A touch higher than yesterday and far sunnier.

[Mapantz]

Ol' Betsy has just reported 30°C. Pretty special to get 30°C+ two days in a row here.

 

[slater]

Hazy blue sky...28C Mid Norfolk...

Forgot to say ironically Just drove from Norwich 16 miles away only 23.5C the difference driving further inland... I guest the coast must be a nice 20C 

[emmett garland]

A stifling 16oc here in Dublin and cloudy too Im lighting the fire..

[matt111]

Is there something about 30°C that makes it difficult to reach? Second day in a row it’s reached 29.9°C and then dropped again. Hopefully like yesterday it will get there eventually. 

[SMU]

Looks like Heathrows going to take it today I think 34/35c for 5pm is my guess setting us for a run at a 37/38c tomorrow...

Similar thing here. Cambridge is currently at 31c, yet here in Peterborough it is only 23c. The Wash has the strange ability to push cool air and cloud much further inland than many other coastal areas as Peterborough is a far way inland, even from the Wash.

[Evening thunder]

Seems the low cloud has reduced maxima away from the SE (even though it mostly burnt off) compared to many models like the ECM (perhaps an associated stronger low level inversion to warm up too?). AROME model did very well with the low cloud extent and then suppressed maxima when I looked yesterday evening.

19C in Hereford and 21C in Bristol at 3pm, but the ECM had an un-adjusted temp of 28 and 29C at 4pm 

24.1C at Exeter Airport, so cooler than forecast here too. Kind of a shame as it might have just about been my hottest day of this spell.. Though it looks like we will be just west of the 30C stuff all through this hot spell!

If correct, a very warm-hot spell here but not quite what I'd call an intense heatwave in this location.

Hopefully some thunderstorm interest instead (as long as they don't all go around here!)

Astonishing temperatures on private weather stations between Southampton and Brighton. A lot of 35Cs / 36Cs / 37Cs - they're probably overstated by a degree or two but considering how many are at this level, I'd think no more than that. Will be interesting to see what Gosport and Shoreham come up with at 4pm. Looking pretty hot round Heathrow, too.
